by Friedrich Konrad Müller von der Werra (1823 - 1881)

Komm', Lieb! mit in die Gondel
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  ENG
Komm', Lieb! mit in die Gondel,
   Das blaue Meer ist still,
   Und denk' was ich dir singen
   Wohl Wunderbares will?
      Vom blut'gen Tanz,
      Vom Heldenglanz?
      O nein, o nein!
   Von süßerm Klange muß es sein!
 
Komm', Lieb! der Abend dämmert,
   Die Sterne grüßen traut!
   Und denk' was ich dir singen
   Will zu der Zither laut?
      Vom Freiheitsbrand?
      Vom Vaterland?
      O nein, o nein!
   Von süßerm Klange muß es sein!
 
Komm', Lieb! mein Herz verlanget
   Nach dir mit stiller Glut!
   Und denk' was ich dir singen
   Will dort auf weicher Flut?
      Vom Carneval?
      Vom Jubelschall?
      O nein, o nein!
   Von süßerm Klange muß es sein!
 
Komm', Lieb! mich treibt ein Sehnen
   Mit dir hinaus ins Meer,
   Und denk' was ich dir singen
   Will draußen hoch und hehr?
      Vom Sternenzelt
      Der Mährchenwelt?
      O nein, o nein!
   Von Lieb' und Treue soll es sein!
